[d-star] Mining ARC 1.2 Machine Up

[Erik Westgard]

Doug and Max and team got the Mining ARC D-Star system installed Sunday.  It
works great.

I bought an ID-1 - and tried it out

The ID-1 is amazing- you set the call, the repeater call and plug it in.
You set a static IP on the computer and it just works!

So far:

- No custom radio/TNC cable wiring
- No radio deviation adjustments
- No TNC parameter setting
- No serial port parameter speed/baud/parity/word length issues
- No software required
- No character mode interface training
- About 100K bps

The operator training issue almost completely goes away. The only thing we
need to do is to distribute IP addresses and masks in advance if they want
to use central services, or for hospital to hospital links.
